With PowerQuest's expertise and a lot of feedback and
tire-kicking from OEM customers, Drive Image SE has become a safe, reliable, simple and
easy-to-use backup and disaster recovery solution for everyone, including unsophisticated
consumers.

Drive Image SE allows manufacturers to create a sector-by-sector compressed
image of the original factory state of a hard drive (on the hard drive or on a CD) and
also allows end-users to create their own user image so that
they don't lose their data, application loads and system preferences that they've added
since the purchase of their computer system.

Here are some of the advantages of using
Drive Image
SE:

Inexpensive: Save the cost of a CD and additional
hardware.

Reduce Costs:
Create the factory image as the system is
being produced which means that system manufacturers don't have to throw away recovery CDs
that no longer match a changed disk image due to bug fixes, driver changes, or application
bundle changes.

Convenient:No looking for a CD because the image is
on the hard drive.

Customer Support: Feedback from our OEM customers show
that one out of four calls require system recovery. Tech support personnel can avoid
long support calls by having customers bring back their latest "user" image
thereby saving their data, system setting and recent application loads.

Speed:
A 600meg image can be restored or saved in less than
10 minutes.

Bullet Proof:
Drive C could actually be reformatted, and the
system could still be restored to either the user image or factory image.

Build-to-Order systems:Create build-to-order systems and
add applications -- and still provide a factory image and a user image on-the-fly as you
produce systems.

Increase Storage Device Upgrades Sales: The solution
of providing an image on the hard drive is short-term and is targeted towards the first 90
to 120 days of ownership. Obviously if there is a hard drive failure, all data could
be lost. System manufacturers will still get the system back regardless to replace
the drive. Once end-users get familiar with the concept and benefits of creating a new
image for disaster recovery, PowerQuest has found that users will upgrade to the retail
version of Drive Image and purchase removable media or add another internal hard
drive. The use of Drive Image promotes the purchase of fixed and removable storage
devices.

Proven Reliability:
Drive Image SE has been extensively tested by other computer manufacturers who have replaced
their previous recovery technology with Drive Image SE either on CD or on the hard drive.
Current announced OEM partners are Packard Bell/NEC, CyberMax, Quantex, Pionex, Winbook,
Everex and others yet unannounced.
